TESTIMONY || TINA COHEN-CHANG [ 29.04.18]
TINA: [ stands ready to give her testimony. Her mouth feels dry and her hands clammy. She balls them into fists at her side as she takes a breath to ease herself. This trial was not about her, today was about all the Lucus Naturae who has suffered at the hand of Fucus. All she had to do was tell the truth and it was going to be fine.] Your Honor, [She begins] I, Tina Cohen-Chang, New Age Witch, swear to be truthful upon the Cardinal Laws in my testimony for Case File #96534-B21. [ Just state the facts, being as detailed and blunt as a code that she writes.Tell everything that needs to be known the main point was talking about what she saw in the house. Nothing else.]
TINA: [tucks both her hands in front of her, feeling uncomfortable that she didn't have her phone to twirl in her hands for comfort.] On January 26th, 2018, upon entering Brownstone, the halls were covered in hanging paintings depicting naked Lucus Naturae in sexually explicit situations. I was close by Elliott Gilbert, as we entered a room together. There was a stairway leading down, everything was dark but there appeared to be a sound of a dripping pipe. Elliott and I continued on walking down the stairs, the dripping sound starting to get louder, slightly more metallic as if they were rustling chains, we weren't alone in that room. Elliott-Sen- [she cuts herself off] Reaching the bottom, Elliott asked me to cast a spell to light up the room, as I did.
TINA:[swollows a little] Being able to see clearer, we had bumped into an examination table that was cluttered with utensils that appeared to have just been used. Elliott whispered to me that we weren't alone in the room, but he didn't need to tell me as the sound suspected to be chained, were actual chains as well as screams in a language that I did not understand.There Shedim that were chained to the wall. A few were too weak to even stand and the ones that could stand had horns that were overgrown and their long white hair outgrown. My light spell slowly goes out, as there is a cracking sound, the chains were broken unchaining the Shedim.
TINA: [makes sure that she is careful with her words but remaining truthful.] Two of them attacked me. I called for Elliott to help me. I cast a spell to protect myself in hopes to be enough to get the Shedim away from me. Elliott calls again, and I cast another spell that is enough to stop the Shedim from being able to come after us. We create a distance and I got out my phone where I received a text telling me to get out the house. Then...then there was smoke slowly starting to fill the room, which was the fire. And I remember getting out the house along Elliott's side...and that is all I saw at Brownstone.
TINA: Thank you, your honor.
